I've seen Black Swans operate as hunter-killer teams, one listens while another one or two do the dirty on you. Things get pretty sticky when they do that. :huh:

Yep, they're modeled, and tough to shake off once they get their teeth in you. I dumped TWO bolds over the side once and managed to slip away by the skin of my teeth. Came up to peri and took a peek for the heck of it. Four DDs sitting in a circle around the bolds, planes flying overhead pounding the seawater into foam, then three DDs would take turns dumping their racks over the Bold cannisters.

I get the shakes everytime I think about it... :D

So the Decoys do work?

Is the anti sonar coating worth it?

Every little bit helps. Even though it just may be little more than a placebo, it reduces the deflected sonar rays a little. So it may give you exactly that little edge you need to slip away.

Yes they are!!! I ran into one with a CVE and surrounded by DD. I made my approach but these boys move fast. Anyway, I was not in a good position and I could only watch as the Luftwaffen showed up and started bombing the CVE. They got it smoking but the CVE did not slow down. Eventually you will stumble up them:up:

Amongst all the other assorted HK groups out there, it's my understanding that the GWX boys included an all-elite HK group to simulate Johnny Walker' group. Beware!

Yes Walkers group are modelled
Hunter killer groups are also modelled a couple of hours behind some late war convoys
If the convoy escorts can keep you down for a bit then expect the heavy mob to come a knockin too

As well as random groups in the Atlantic too

Have fun
